About the Company

• NEW INC is an interdisciplinary program of the New Museum that brings together 100 creative practitioners and entrepreneurs annually from a wide variety of fields across art, design, and technology, promoting an environment of collaboration. The initiative is considered a global model for a cultural incubator. Colleagues and alumni have hailed it as groundbreaking, transformative, and socially impactful. Critical to the success of NEW INC is its commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion in both its member recruitment and program methodologies.
• In March 2026, NEW INC moved into its own dedicated space within an expanded New Museum, designed by OMA / Shohei Shigematsu and Rem Koolhaas. This new home is located on the 5th floor of the new building and has space for a media lab, a fabrication studio, coworking space, a private balcony space, and spaces for private meetings.
• The New Museum's mission is simply "New Art, New Ideas." Founded in 1977 by curator Marcia Tucker with a bold vision of presenting contemporary culture in a critical and scholarly context, the New Museum has been a leader among contemporary art museums for over 40 years and is among the most respected internationally for its risk-taking curatorial program. The New Museum is a center for exhibitions, information, and documentation about living artists from around the world, focusing on emerging and under-recognized voices, and providing a platform for the artists who are defining our cultural moment.
• In 2007, the New Museum made history with the inauguration of its first permanent building at 235 Bowery designed by the Tokyo-based firm SANAA. Since opening in its new location, over 4 million have visited or attended programs and events, and the Museum has organized more than 155 exhibitions featuring over 600 artists from 60+ countries in our galleries, as well as over 1,200 public programs ranging from live performances, conferences, residencies, screening, after-school programs, and family days.
• In March 2026, the museum expanded its campus with a second building adjacent to the current site. The new seven-story, 60,000 square foot building includes three floors of galleries, doubling the Museum’s exhibition space, along with additional space for the Museum’s many community and education programs, a permanent home for its cultural incubator NEW INC, as well as increased public amenities.
